22 November 2024 - 8:05AM
Workhorse Group Inc. (Nasdaq:
WKHS) (“Workhorse” or “the
Company”), an American technology company focused on
pioneering the transition to zero-emission commercial vehicles,
today announced the delivery of its W56 electric step van to
NorthStar Courier, a FedEx Ground Contract Service Provider based
in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The sale was facilitated by Workhorse
Certified Dealer, Ziegler Truck Group.
This milestone marks the first deployment of the Workhorse W56
by a FedEx Ground Service Provider outside of California. NorthStar
Courier’s W56 is currently in service, efficiently handling parcel
pickup and delivery routes throughout Minneapolis.
Minnesota is emerging as a leader in commercial EV adoption,
supported by state grants aimed at accelerating fleet
electrification and replacing older diesel vehicles with zero
tailpipe emissions solutions. The W56, engineered for last-mile
delivery, offers a sustainable alternative for service providers
and businesses seeking to reduce their environmental footprint and
operating costs.
“We are excited to see NorthStar Courier leading the charge in
Minnesota by putting the W56 into service,” said Kelly Kiger, Vice
President of Sales at Workhorse. “Expanding adoption of electric
vehicles in key states like Minnesota is vital to accelerating the
transition to zero-emission transportation across the country.
NorthStar Courier is setting an example for FedEx Service Providers
and businesses nationwide looking to improve efficiency while
reducing their environmental impact.”
The W56, manufactured at the Workhorse Ranch in Union City,
Indiana, combines reliability, extended range, and ample cargo
capacity, making it an ideal solution for parcel delivery
operations. Now available in both standard and extended wheelbase
configurations, the W56 offers pre-configured upfit options
tailored for parcel delivery, providing flexibility to meet the
diverse needs of fleet operators. With this delivery, Workhorse
continues to expand its footprint in the growing electric vehicle
market for commercial applications.
